​Congratulations to AJ Yener​ and Joe Willson on earning Nidan or 2nd degree black belt in Uechi-Ryu Karate! The promotions happened on Sunday, May 7 under the supervision of an examination board of Senseis Beth Yanuskiewicz, Michelle Moreau, Connie Flynn, and Mark Flynn. Both AJ and Joe turned in “A” level performances in Shin, Gi, and Tai (form, strength and spirit) for all of the areas of the test. Upon completion of the challenge, the test board all agreed that it was a strong test, and had praise for the candidates. Sensei Connie and Mark felt that the quality of Uechi-Ryu Karate at ZenQuest is virtually no different from that in found in Okinawa. Congrats again to Joe and AJ and, as Sensei Toshio Higa like to say…”Please continue!”
